Salt / sand spreader for sale

This is an Air flo 1.7 yard salt / sand spreader. It was bought new in 96' last time I used it was winter of 03' & at that time it ran & functioned great! It will need some metal fabrication on the bottom to strengthen it up. I welded one piece in 2 years ago but I just dont have the time anymore. Make me an offer. I will either accept of decline. I can deliver within reason....lets talk about it.

OK - its now on ebay if anyone is interested. $25 starts the auction with no reserve.

I suggest that you modify the auction immediately or you are going to be shipping that to someone for very little money. You should have made the auction "local pickup only" unless you intend delivering it. The cost to me in Southbridge Ma is $19.16. Not even worth the gas to go get it. Junk.....

Thanks Junk. I appreciate you noticing. I neglected to change that from my last ebay sale.

Well, you can delete this thread...it has been sold!

If you don't mind my asking..... How much did it go for?? thanks... Junk..

I'd be glad to tell you but first I would like you to guess. After you guess, then tell me what is the most you would have paid for it. Then I will tell you.

I gave it some serious consideration, but after coming to my senses and realizing that my loader wouldn't be high enough to fill the hopper and it would be over kill for my driveway, gave up on the though. I will continue to have the neighbor sand the driveway whenever it needs it. My guess is that it sold for between $500 and $750 depending on how much work that it needed to make is serviceable again. Having repaired them more than once, I know that they can be a bear to work on and the parts don't come cheap. If the chain mechanism is rusted and needs to be replaced, then you are staring at big $$$$. Junk.....

You are a wise man with good wisdom Junk. I rec'd an email from a man thru ebay. He said he was in CT & needed a spreader quickly & was willing to pick it up that day & pay me cash for it if I was willing to end the auction early. So the man show's up an hour later & came to his own conclusion that it needed a new convayor chain...I didnt argue. We chatted for 25 minutes in my yard & he was a nice guy. He is an excavation contractor that is starting to get into commercial plowing. We hit it off & I made a new friend & he offered me $500 cash & i took it. I loaded it onto his brand new F 350 & off it went! I really didnt want to spend more time on it & I really didnt want to get stuck delivering it far as I have gotten stuck doing on past ebay sales of mine so It worked out well for me. As for you not being able to load it with your BX, years ago I had a JD 790 that had the same problem so I built a loading dock that worked well for many years till I bought the Kubota which loads from the ground with no problems.

You did well and so did he. I keep thinking that I want / need more equipment, toys, etc., but in reality, I don't need any more than I already have and in all honesty, I can get rid of some and not even notice that they are gone. I spent the entire day moving things in the garage to no avail. I still can't make enough room in there to get a 22' long car in for the winter unless I start getting rid of some more stuff. I filled one box of things that are definitely going to eBay this next week and have a large pile that is headed to the dumpster.

You wouldn't by any chance be including that anvil in your stuff to put on ebay would you?

Sorry..... that isn't in the pile. Mostly junk type of stuff. I rarely sell any tools and other things that I consider having much value. In fact, after looking at all the "junk" I wonder why I keep some of it, but I now realize that it might be more of a compulsion than a need. It is a fine line...
